NEW DELHI: The South Corporation collected Rs 51,923.90 crore in property tax this year, which is one of the major sources of revenue for the civic body. Of the 16 lakh properties in its jurisdiction, only 25% fall in the tax bracket. Besides, there are six to seven lakh properties in unauthorised colonies, which previously weren't required to pay property tax but now they do.
Like the North Corporation, the south civic body too has proposed a 1% increase in property tax for residential properties under categories C, D and E; and a 2% hike for properties in A and B categories. For commercial property, a 5% hike has been proposed for A to H categries, including jewellery shops, guest houses, restaurants without bars or AC, liquor shops, etc.
The 15% rebate offered to citizens for timely payment of property tax has been proposed to be slashed to 10%. Senior citizens, differently-abled and women who were eligible for a rebate of 30% for 200sq m of covered space of property, will get 20% rebate for 100sq m space, according to the 2016-17 budget proposals made by commissioner Puneet Goyal.
He also proposed to allot unique property identification code (UPIC) to existing tax payers and then extend it to all new tax payers.

NEW DELHI: Government has managed to take the Opposition on board for listing the crucial Goods and Services Tax Bill for discussion and passage in the Rajya Sabha though a consensus on the proposed legislation is still in the works.
The Rajya Sabha Business Advisory Committee- comprising of MPs from all major parties- agreed to the government suggestion for listing the GST Bill for discussion and passage in the week starting December 7. Four hours have been allocated for this.
Being a Constitutional amendment, the GST Bill has to be approved by 2/3 majority in both Houses and half of the state assemblies. Lok Sabha has already passed the Bill.
Meanwhile, government is engaged in back channel negotiations with Congress to get its support. Once Congress chief Sonia Gandhi is back from the US, there will be more clarity on the main opposition's stand.
The Real Estate Bill will also be taken up for discussion and passage in Rajya Sabha in the coming week only once it is sure of their passage, sources said.

VThe compact location of MG Road and high cost at Cyber City are pushing corporate houses to look for alternate locations. Undoubtedly, Sohna Road is the first choice as it is well connected with NH-8. Easy connectivity to NH-8 allows companies to access old and new Gurgaon without any trouble of heavy traffic. On the other hand, the easy connectivity with Golf Course Road is an added reason that makes Sohna Road a substantial option for commercial property in Gurgaon.
Fore Front Offices, the key provider of Business Centre at Sohna Road, has been supporting leading corporate clients for many years at this location. The primary reason behind being functional at this strategic location is the easy accessibility to other commercial destinations like Cyber City, Udyog Vihar, Signature Towers, MG Road, Manesar, Bhiwadi, and Jaipur. The Chairman and Managing Director of Fore Front Offices,Parminder Singh, strongly believes that Sohna Road is the best alternative for small as well as large corporate businesses for their expansions and start-up. He also said, "We chose Sohna Road after analysing the requirements of our clients. We believe that clients look for more than space and to serve them better, we identified a location that not just fits their budget but also compliments their business expansion plans. Unlike Noida Sec 62-63, Sohna Road has quality human resources and marketing exposure available in Gurgaon. Initially, we started with only 160 seats, but seeing the high footfall and demand from leading corporate clients in Gurgaon, we have acquired additional 20,000 sq. ft. area, which itself is an indicator that we took the right decision."
There are many international corporate companies and start-ups in Gurgaon and investors are ready to help SMEs in their establishments. For all the big plans and upcoming corporate houses, ready-to-move offices need to be headquartered in the core market. For this, Sohna Road being a mix of business parks and IT hubs seems to be an apt location in Gurgaon. No doubt, Sohna Road has become an attractive destination with the all-mix use of land for many companies.
There are more than 15 commercial buildings at Sohna Road that are occupied by leading market players who are in the process of expanding their businesses. Being the prime location, Sohna Road has all possible reasons to accommodate clients' requirements in the best possible ways. At Sohna Road, Fore Front Offices is one of the trusted names that provides office space solutions at JMD Megapolis to leading business houses.

Gurgaon-Sohna Road (NH-248A) is one of the fastest growing stretches in the real estate sector. The place is being mentioned as the city's next big site for commercial and residential developments in the next few years, as some of the biggest names in the real estate business have begun their projects in this part of the millennium city.
The National Highway 248A (NH 248A) would start from Haryana and enter the Alwar district in Rajasthan at Ramgarh. The total length of the highway would be 95.390 kilometres. After passing throughAlwar city it would enter Sariska’s buffer zone on the Alwar-Jaipur road. It would then pass through Sariska bypass at KushalGarhtricrossing where tiger ST-4 and tigress ST-10 have already developed their respective territories. After passing a distance of 103 km through Alwar district, the high-speed highway would enter Jaipur district at Shahpura on the Jaipur-Delhi NH- 8 and go towards Churu district’s Rajgarh via parts Neem-ka-Thana and Pilani in Sikar and Jhunjhunudistricts, respectively.
A lot of new projects are being built along the Gurgaon-Sohna Road owing to its easy accessibility from NH-8 , the Delhi airport, the Golf Course Road, Delhi and other NCR regions, as well as its easy connectivity with the soon-to-be-launched KMP Expressway. The Southern Peripheral Road is close to the established residential corridor of Sohna Road.

There is a proposal to merge the 90metre Link Road from Gurgaon’s Sector 63 with the proposed 150metre Gurgaon Extension Road, which will not only reduce the travel distance by a couple of kilometres but also ensure a smooth travel time of 10-15 minutes from Golf Course and Golf Course Extension Road.The KMP bypass would take care of the heavy vehicle movement, reducing the traffic flow on the existing Gurgaon-Sohna-Alwar Highway and the new 90metre to 150metre roads. Also, the area will have excellent connectivity with the NCR through the proposed Metro line.

Some top national and international names in the real estate business have brought projects to the area, like CHD Developers' Avenue 71, Raheja's Aranya City, Omaxe's wedding mall, Vipul Group's Vipul Greens in Sector 48, main Sohna Road; Shantikunj opposite Maruti Kunj, Today Homes's Today Royal Elegancia in Sector 73, Spaze Privy AT4 in Sector 84, Eros Group's Wembley Estate in Sector 49, Jasmine Tower in Sector 45, etc. Gold Souk is planning to come up with a mega integrated township on the main Gurgaon-Sohna Road on 200 acres.

Parsvnath Green Ville is one of the residential developments in Gurgaon-Sohna Road. Green Ville is beautifully landscaped and has 15 spacious blocks with over 400 houses. Ansal Builders have a completed Ansal Golden Orchard on Gurgaon-Sohna Road. Golden Orchard is located on the main Gurgaon-Sohna Road. Vipul's Vipul Greens in Sector 48 has also been completed.

GURGAON: The real estate industry on Friday welcomed Haryana's new integrated licencing policy (NILP), saying it will speed up infrastructure development and offer more housing to Gurgaon, which has large tracts of unused land.
The policy removes a major hurdle in obtaining land for large housing projects like townships because getting 100 acres of contiguous land was never easy. But a 25-acre cap not only helps get over this problem, it also allows a developer to concentrate its resources on a smaller area. The experience with large townships hasn't always been good, with residents beset with infrastructure problems years after moving in.
Navin Raheja, chairman of the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO), said, "As developers were not able to procure 100 acres of land, infrastructure development would stuck and Gurgaon suffered badly. These issues will be sorted out now and development will pick up pace."
The Haryana government also for the first time introduced the concept of transferable development rights (TDR). "This will allow land owners to monetise their land holdings at the current market price in residential sectors and for areas designated for external development works like sector roads, colleges, hospitals, fire station, open spaces, green belt and others," Raheja said.
Anubhav Jain, director of Silverglades group, said, "The reduction in minimum area requirement for housing projects under the new policy should spark interest in the development community, but high external and internal development charges and delay in obtaining approvals continue to be a dampener for developers while pursuing new projects."
S K Sharma, a real estate consultant, added, "The policy will ensure farmers and landowners get the market price from the builder. Not just that, the policy enables them to participate in the process starting from licencing, infrastructure development and marketing and sale of their TDR."

Recently, finance minister of Haryana, Abhimanyu, introduced the e-stamping and online registration of properties in Haryana. Haryana’s state government has laid down goal of registering properties online till March, 2015. There are a number of efforts being made in order to alter the currently prevailing system of stamp duty which is charged on registries.
This can be completely put to end with the e-stamping process. This decision to make online registration of properties online is taken by the state government so as to test out and stop the corruption in districts. On a trial basis, online registries will initiate to employ in Rohtak Tehsil from Dec 2015.
Further, all the officers engaged in the registry project are asked to get well-versed of the software which is to be used for online registries and they must also ensure the proper implementation of this entire project.
Since, e-stamping is introduced to manage and tackle with the forgery in registries and property authentication and to make the stamp duty payment convenient and easily accessible, therefore not only Haryana state government but other states also are taking initiatives in this direction. Some of the major advantages of e-stamping are enlisted as below:
• It can be used from anywhere and anytime.
• It allows convenient and easy payment methods through online mode.
• One can make payment of stamp duty online with the help of present tax payment channels or at stamp office as well.
• There is no need to confirm original document before stamp office if not opted for traditional stamp.
• One can put forward the application of stamping either in hard copy or soft copy.
• You can receive stamp certificate through the internet or also via document form, depends upon the mode of form submission.
• You can attach the certificate of stamp along with the original instrument as a proof of stamping.
Hence, e-stamping has a lot of advantages. It can be an effective tool to put an end to corruption and forgery. It is accessible and can be produced within few minutes. Besides, it is entirely tamper-proof and all the information is saved and protected by SHICL (Stock Holding Corporation of India). One can authenticate it only by online mode therefore the chance of any sort of frauds are totally eliminated with the prologue of e-stamping

GURGAON: Google has expanded its office operations in Gurgaon by 4,02,860 square feet over the last quarter and is expected to almost double its space absorption in the city by 2017.
It has been learnt that they plan to expand their offices to 7,50,000 square feet by 2017. This massive space absorption by the world’s No. 1 search engine has now put Gurgaon as the top most office space absorption destination of the country over the last quarter of 2015. This trend spells good news for future job-seekers in NCR, especially for those in Gurgaon. According to Colliers, Gurgaon office space demand is on an upswing and the trend is expected to persist over next two years. The city has seen 2.1 million square feet office absorption this quarter, totaling to 4.9 million square feet on a year-to-date basis. At a quarterly rate there has been a whopping 18% increase in office absorption.
The shoot-up has been largely because of Google India’s expansion in Signature Towers 2A and 3 by 402, 860 square feet on lease.
Samsung has taken up 2,00,000 square feet at Two Horizon Centre on Golf Course Road. American Express has secured 1,25,000 square feet at One Horizon Centre on Golf Course Road; Spice Jet took up an individual plot of 1,20,000 at Udyog Vihar on lease and Olympus Medical Systems took up the SAS Tower of 80,000 square feet area at Medicity, NH8 on lease as well.

“We anticipate that the demand momentum in Gurgaon will continue from sectors like IT and ITeS, BFSI and Manufacturing. Due to location advantages and affordable rates, micro markets like Udyog Vihar, Institutional Sectors and NF8 will continue to garner the occupier’s interest. Despite increased demand, rents are expected to remain in the same levels across micro markets barring few grade A buildings which will continue to demand premium,” associate director, research, Colliers International — India, Surabhi Arora, said.
In comparison to Gurgaon, Noida market has seen a recovery with 0.98 million square feet increase in absorption over last year which is 32% increase over last quarter. With this, the city recorded a total space absorption of 2.22 million square feet on a year to date basis.

New Gurgaon is fast emerging as a vibrant residential and commercial hub in the National Capital Region. In fact, New Gurgaon is a moniker coined for the areas/sectors beyond the second toll plaza on NH-8, which are located on the highway on either side of it or which are accessible through it through internal sector roads. "This real estate micro-market is one of the two identified growth corridors for residential projects in Gurgaon; the othe r being Dwarka Expressway, which can also be considered an extension of the New Gurgaon region, albeit with different drivers for growth," says Rohan Sharma, associate director - research & real estate intelligence service, JLL India.The influence zone of this micro-market extends from the sectors immediate after the Kherki Daula toll plaza and right up to the sectors being developed beyond all the way till Manesar on both sides of the highway. "As of date a total of over 51,000 residential apartment units have been launched here across more than 95 projects," says Sharma. According to JLL India, apartment prices have moved annually by nearly 37 per cent and 22 per cent in 2012 and 2013, respectively, compared to previous years. However, prices were largely stagnant over 2014 and showed a slight increment of just around 4 per cent. It continues to remain one of the relatively less expensive residential micro-markets within Gurgaon. Already, over 3,600 residential units are completed and handed over to buyers with another approximately 39,000 residential apartments likely to be handed over the next 3-year period. This should bring in enough traction for future developments of retail centers which will be an improvement over the current, existing neighborhood retail shopping centers which have been developed as part of the township projects under development here and where part completion of some towers/projects has been handed over.Accessibility and good existing connectivity has also worked in the favour of this region. For example, "upcoming infrastructural projects such as the DMIC, KMP Expressway, enhanced connectivity through the Dwarka Expressway and internal arterial roads and development of multiple centers of excellence as planed under the DMIC are likely to further provide an impetus to growth around this area. Economic activity will fuel future growth, with existing automobile/ancillary industries in Manesar already doing well," says Sharma. There are already large township projects in New Gurgaon by the likes of DLF, Vatika, Orris, Lotus Greens and Ramprastha, among others. For instance, DLF's Garden city is said to be a well-planned residential hub which is spread over 600 acres of development. Located next to a 1000-acre green expanse, the township offers its residents (over 500 families currently residing) a luxurious lifestyle in the lap of lush surroundings. Designed by renowned architect Hafeez Contractor, the project claims to offer world-class facilities to its customers. Moreover, located just a few minutes' drive from the IGI Airport, DLF's Garden city also has the distinct advantage of superb connectivity via NH 8, upcoming Dwarka Expressway and Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway.Talking about their project, Vikram O Datta, vice president-sales & marketing, DLF, says, "With a significant rise in pollution levels, NCR residents are experiencing a severe lack of fresh air. Our upcoming township 'DLF Garden city' is being developed keeping in mind the current scenario. Located next to a 1000-acre green expanse, the mega township offers its residents a luxurious lifestyle in the lap of lush surroundings." So far as the future growth prospects of New Gurgaon is concerned, "as the city of Gurgaon is growing, there is an ever increasing pressure on the existing infrastructure. The need of the hour is to develop newer areas on priority. Since the pace of development has picked up at New Gurgaon, we expect it to reach new heights of urbanization," says Mr Datta.

Sohna Road has emerged as a prime residential location in the Gurgaon market. What makes this location an ideal destination for residential investment is its excellent connectivity with the emerging commercial hub, Golf Course Extension Road and National Highway 8. In the future, the area will be further connected to New Gurgaon through the Southern and Northern Peripheral Roads, which are also emerging residential and commercial destinations in Gurgaon.
This micro-market has an excellent mix of retail, commercial and residential properties. Developers like Spaze, Raheja, Unitech, Omaxe, CHD, Ansal, Parsvnath, Eldeco, Vatika, Vipul, Gold Souk etc., have developed a number of residential, commercial and retail properties in this region.
The area offers residential development in the form of group housing apartments, theme-based villas, duplexes and plotted developments. The road has plenty of operational malls, such as Omaxe, Ninex Mall, Galleria and almost all of the civic amenities are in place, such as hospitals, hotels and schools. Most of the residential projects along the road have been delivered.
Good ready-to-move-in options are available on this road in the price range of Rs 8,000-11,000 per sq ft. The area is still affordable compared to other locations, like MG Road and Golf Course Road. The under-construction projects are located in sectors along the Southern Peripheral Road, which is a 150-metre wide road connecting Golf Course Extension to NH-8 intersecting Sohna Road at Badshahpur.
Approximately 20,000 units are under construction in various sectors along this road. Apartments being developed in these micro-markets are typically 3-4 BHK of 1,500 to 3,000 sq ft. The under-construction properties are currently priced in the range of Rs 4,500-9,500, which is approximately 20-30 per cent lower than the ready-to-move-in projects.
Until recently, the traffic congestion on Sohna Road was the major concern when considering investment in this area. However, with the road widening in place and construction of a 600 metre flyover at Subhash Chaowk by Haryana Urban Development Authority, it is expected that smooth, vehicular movement will be provided between Huda City Centre and Hero Honda Chowk on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway. Another flyover is likely to come up between the Southern Peripheral Road and Sohna Road intersection near Badshahpur, which will further provide a congestion-free ride on this road.
Towards the west, Sohna Road goes further ahead to the Sohna Town which is notified as Gurgaon Extension in the new Gurgaon-Sohna Master Plan, 2031. The area is set to become an axis of commercial, residential, institutional and industrial development because of its strategic location. According to the master plan, the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway, which is under construction, is passing by the southern side of the Sohna town.
The Haryana government has envisaged development of theme hubs, namely Leisure Hub, Sports Hub and Leather Hub along the KMP Expressway in the vicinity of Sohna.
